Hello,
I found about five, try:
find / -type l -exec ls -l {}\; | grep " /"
> What's problem you encountered with such links?
I think the real problem happened when I load a package [mtools],
not with the bin distrubution itself.
I was installing a diskless workstation. In the server I do not have
a floppy disk driver and I did not installed mtools. In the client
I had the need of using floppies. I installed the client operating system
in a disk slice and mounted it in the server [let us say in "/dl"
directory]. I exported "/dl" with all its directories; installed mtools
and it crossed the file systems. dl/usr/local/bin/mwrite ->
/usr/local/bin/mtools and I could not use mcopy in the client.
